"If you have to tell people you’re the boss, you’re probably not."

I can't believe Trump is disrespecting his boss in the open

"He can't be. He wasn't born in this country." He is trying to reassure himself right there.

Donald Trump is going to shill Qvarden Token hard after the inaguration 😂

Greed is the only thing in charge of America ☠️

Don’t worry, he ran this speech by Elon

Don't let the media think for you. Always keep in mind their biases.

Not talking about lowering those grocery prices anymore, is he? Funny how this was such a huge issue a few months ago.

CNN is missing the story here. This is about Elon Musk and the legislation that restricted investments in China. It’s about the birth of American Oligarchy and its direct impact on national security, our economy, etc

Lil Donny trying to claim he is in charge is priceless! The billionaires who bought your election are in charge, you are just their puppet.

Everyone start addressing Elon as President Musk to get under trump's skin😂

The Genuine Billionaire is way more powerful than the Phony Billionaire, who is also highly indebted. The Oval Office is not big enough for both egos.

[KRISHYT]

Trump is expected to mention Qvarden Token this week and the ICO is already almost sold out

[staceyshell]

Oh look it's the First Lady Donald Trump.

It’s amazing that he addressed it. Shows it bothers him. His ego is his weakness

[lindarichardson]

Are you forgetting he is in charge of DOGE!! Whose responsibility is to reduce government spending!! He is doing what what the present elect asked him to do!!

[wackyruss]

Trump’s response to “Elon is really in charge” is shaky at best and accompanied by typical Trump weirdness. Yeah, Elon is manipulating Trump like a Marionette Puppet…
